The Moonlight Flat Oysters story...

Moonlight Flat Oysters™ cultivates a range of trademarked oyster brands, driven by our simple philosophy of producing the freshest possible hand-selected oysters and delivering direct from the farm.
We shun the practice of pre-shucking and tap-rinsing oysters. And we care enough to hand pack our oysters and deliver them by the fastest farm-direct logistics.
We focus on sustainable production and artisanal finishing methods—like wines and cheeses, oysters reflect their provenance and finishing (or ‘affinage’) with a unique flavour profile.
Our aim is to raise both Australian oyster culture, appreciation and consumption to new levels
.

Read more about us...

We always encourage oyster knowledge among rising young chefs - the future of our national oyster culture. Chefs and owners who understand year-round, single-source consistency, backed by stable price support are the anchors of industry. Together we might transition the pre-shuck tragedy into a European quality oyster culture using the finest native oysters.
In an industry first, Moonlight Flat Oysters is proud to initiate a funded package for young guns to learn on the leases. Packages are tailored to individual circumstances. Send us an email describing the oyster passion behind your vision.

This is one of our first shipments using our new ‘art boxes’. Made from rugged, insulated and recyclable material, we believe these boxes are more environmentally friendly than the foam boxes that are normally used to ship oysters. The boxes feature a variety of designs from our collection of oysters in art.

Our piquepoul story

It’s not often an oyster farmer gets the opportunity to introduce a completely new and unknown variety of wine into the nation to match his oysters. But this story of one man’s passion is true.
